A Cambridge college omitted two crucial words from a Bible reading when its service was broadcast on the BBC.

Selwyn College’s choral evensong, transmitted on Radio 3 on 30 June, included a Scripture lesson from 1 Corinthians 6.

But evangelical listeners quickly picked up that two words were left out when it came to verse nine. The translation being used was the New Revised Standard Version and the words omitted were ‘male prostitutes’ and ‘sodomites’.
